Workshop Description

Participants MUST get MCNP® from RSICC prior to the
class. Email proof by following the steps in
this .pdf
file. You must email this proof to Randy Schwarz with your
registration.

This workshop will be taught using the latest version of
MCNP6®. This will provide a unique learning
experience for those looking for a deeper understanding of the MCNP6®
code.

Intermediate Workshops cover the entire spectrum of MCNP6® but proceed
at a much faster pace and are more in-depth than Introductory Classes.
These workshops are open to new users; the first day is a review of
basics. However, the intermediate workshops are targeted toward more
experienced users and are more problem solving than lecture classes.
Intermediate workshops feature flexible course content, skip topics of
least interest to the participants, and provide significantly more depth
than introductory classes.

Monday – Review of Basics Introduction, input files, basic geometry,
basic geometry plotting, basic sources, basic tallies. This is a good
review for experienced users and essential for new users. Monday
Challenge: Do you have an MCNP/5/6/X®
problem that is giving you headaches? Give us a simplified version
Monday and we will try to solve at least one for you or show you how to
solve it by Thursday!

Thursday – Variance Reduction You can solve our “million year problem”
making it fully converge and running 14 orders of magnitude faster with
our many variance reduction techniques. Or you can try one of the
“Monday Challenge” or other problems for hands-on experience with
variance reduction techniques and coaching by experts. At one 2013
workshop a participant’s problem was sped up to be 42000 times faster
and fully converged!

Friday – Criticality and More Criticality calculations and burnup and
depletion. Perturbations. Surface source read and write. Topics of
general interest raised by the participants during the week. Individual
support on your specific problem.

The Intermediate Workshop is truly a hands-on workshop and not a
lecture. We provide expertise that does not have to follow a script, but
can take the participants anywhere they wish to go nearly everywhere in
the world of MCNP®. After the first day each Intermediate Workshop is
different, tailored to the specific needs and interests of those
participating.

The latest MCNP6® distributed by RSICC is used in
this workshop. Additional MCNP6® Topics:

ACT card for controlling activation

Cyclic time-bin option

Photofission multiplicity option

Pulsed source options

Delayed-particle production

Tally tagging

Tally plot upgrades

LET tally

Focused beam sources

PTRAC coincidence option

MCPLOT arithmetic commands

LLNL photofission multiplicity option

Receiver-operator characterization (ROC)
tally option

Pulse-height light tally: triple and
quadruple coincidences

Time-dependent F8 tallies using the
pulse-height light option

The class will be taught using the standard
MCNP6® graphics package.

Lodging and Facilities

This course will be held at a hotel in Anaheim, CA.
